The episode with the neighbouring lord and his collection of nazi memorabilia and Hitler artwork is basically the 6th Marquess of Bath (and former Tory MP), who has the largest collection of genuine Hitler paintings on earth.
It does get surreal at times and I'm not sure about the yellow writing on the screen which explains relatively simple transactions but doesn't appear when things become more convoluted.
Yes it's enjoyable nonsense rather than any attempt at gritty reality. For starters I think the neighbours would have noticed if back in the day we'd excavated under the cow sheds and brought in hundreds of tons of concrete.

I enjoyed ep 1. I love the fact he puts vinny jones in. I wonder if that's how he begins any script?
A bloke. He looks a lot like vinnie jones...

It is very by the book. He hasn’t had to search for new inspiration along the way.
Gypsies - check
Posh chaps with shooters - check
Vinnie Jones - check
Drugs trade - check
Amusing regional gangsters - check
Unlicensed boxing - check

Is it fun? Gangsters have moved on from Ritchie’s youth. Much more ruthless and violent.

There are whispers of more violent Russians and Colombians, but mostly it’s cheeky chappies being pwoper nawty.

Watched 5 episodes, am really liking it. Ritchie's shizz really works for high quality series, hope he does more.

The film was class. Didn't get enough credit.

I find Ritchie a bit discount Tarantino, but I really enjoyed this. Possibly not unrelated to Theo James being the lead.

I am enjoying Theo James although not a credible aristocrat.

Heh the room in New Billingsgate where Susie Glass meets Peter Serafinovicz's terrible Scouse accent was where I once did a fish prepping course.
